Chapter 62


    Chapter 62 Should Expose Him?


    Annalise ran faster.


    Julian sped up again. Simrly, Annalise sped up.


    When he reached the other bridge, Julian suddenly stopped. He stood on the bridge with his hands


    cupped around his lips and he shouted at the river, “Ah-”


    After shouting, he turned to smile at Annalise. “Come on, shout!”


    He knew that she was in a bad mood today. She would feel much better if she let it all out. She could


    also take the chance to say goodbye to her past.


    Annalise was already sweating profusely from running and a ball of fire had been umting inside


    her, so she shouted toward the river as she stood on the bridge, “Ahhh-Get lost! Get lost, all of you!”


    After shouting, she immediately felt much better.


    She exhaled and looked at Julian. “Are we going back?”


    “Yes,” Julian replied.


    The two of them walked back.


    The journey was silent, but the atmosphere was very natural and not awkward at all.


    She didn’t say who she was asking to get lost, and he didn’t ask.


    They had not known each other for long, but they had formed a tacit understanding.


    He seemed to know what she needed all the time.


    A car passed by them, and Julian reached out to pull Annalise over. He said to her, “You walk inside.”


    “This is already a sidewalk.” Annalise could not help butugh.


    Suddenly, her mood became better.


    She realized that with him, she would naturally be rxed.


    “Yes, but you can still walk inside. It’s safer,” Julian said.


    Annalise walked inside.


    When Julian and Annalise walked together, he subconsciously wanted to hold her hand.


    Thinking of the phone call she had just received that made her very frustrated, he retracted his


    outstretched hand and ced it by his side.


    At night.


    The two of them were sleeping side by side as usual.


    After saying goodnight to each other, Annalise curled up into a ball and went to sleep.


    Afraid that she would use Julian as a pillow again in the middle of the night, she deliberately reached


    out to hug the pillow. Moreover, she was facing the leftpletely. She felt that she would definitely not


    turn over if she slept like that.


    She thought that she would not be able to fall asleep easily after being disturbed by Benjamin today.


    Unexpectedly, the moment she closed her eyes, she did not even have time to think about the details


    of her rtionship with Benjamin. She felt her eyelids droop and… she fell asleep.


    Half an hourter, Julian did what he didst night. After calling out to Annie and getting no response,


    he reached out and gently poked her.


    There was still no reaction, so he pulled her to the right likest night. After moving her to the middle,


    he flipped her over and ced her leg on his leg and her hand on his waist.


    He then moved closer to her.


    After he was satisfied with the posture, he turned off the light and closed his eyes.


    In the morning


    Annalise was dreaming. She dreamed that it was almost the new year. The vige’s pond owner was


    fishing.


    and after draining the water, she could see that the pond was filled with fish. She and the vigers were


    catching fish in the pond.


    A few of her mentors shouted at the top of their lungs from the bank, “Anna, on the left. The big one on


    the left is a bighead carp. Let’s make a chopped chili fish dish.”


    “My goodness, look behind you. There’s a mandarin fish behind you. Let’s steam it.”


    Annalise wanted to raise her leg and turn around to catch the mandarin fish, but she realized that her


    leg seemed to be stuck in the pond and could not be pulled out.


    She lifted her leg with all her might. She was so anxious that she woke up.


    She shuddered and opened her eyes abruptly.


    She was met with Julian’s sleepy eyes.


    He smiled gently at her. “You’re awake?”


    “Yeah… I’m awake.” Annalise smiled awkwardly.


    She quickly retracted her hand from his waist and tried to quietly retract her leg.


    However, one of her legs was pinned down by him.


    This sleeping posture was too embarrassing.


    “What’s wrong?” Julian pretended not to know anything and asked Annalise with a smile.


    “No, nothing… Ahem… Julian, my leg. I’m sorry, I didn’t sleep well.” Annalise pointed at her leg.


    “Sorry!” Julian immediately lifted his leg.


    “It’s my fault. I’ll go wash up first.” Annalise quickly jumped out of bed like yesterday and went to wash


    up. Julian could not help butugh as he looked at Annalise fleeing.


    How could there be such a cute woman in this world?


    When she was smart, she was extremely smart. When she was cute, she was also extremely cute.


    The next night, it was time to sleep.


    Annalise did not want to sleep on the bed anymore. She said, “I’d better sleep on the floor.”


    “No. If you catch a cold from sleeping on the floor, Grandpa will kill me,” Julian said jokingly.


    “I won’t. I’m a doctor. Don’t worry,” Annalise responded.


    Julian looked at Annalise gently. “Sleep on the bed. Samuel’s birthday party is in a few days. If you


    catch a cold, you’ll feel terrible going to the party.”


    Hearing Julian’s words, Annalise could only continue sleeping on the bed.


    She told herself that she had to sleep properly and not treat Julian as a pillow.


    In order to prevent herself from using Julian as a pillow in the middle of the night, she hugged the pillow


    in her arms when she slept.


    She silently thought that since she had something in her arms, she wouldn’t have to hug anything else.


    In the end, when she woke up the next morning, she was in the same awkward position as the day


    before. She was really… ashamed.


    She could only use the excuse of washing up to jump off the bed.


    For the next few nights, Julian did the same thing.


    Annalise was extremely embarrassed every morning. On the other hand, Julian seemed to be used to


    it. It was all very normal to him and he told Annalise not to mind. It did not matter no matter how they


    slept. Annalise thought as she brushed her teeth, “How could I sleep so soundly?”

    She thought about it and felt that it might have something to do with running every night.


    Perhaps it was because running exhausted her and she trusted Julian, so she slept more soundly.


    That night, Julian asked her out for a run. She decisively refused his invitation and said that she wanted


    to look at a few cases tonight.


    She took out herptop to read emails at night and dealt with some things. At ten o’clock, she took a


    shower and went to bed.


    Just like before, each person slept on one side.


    Annalise fell asleep after lying down for a while.


    Then she heard Julian calling her.


    She was a little sleepy, so she did not respond.


    She felt Julian poke her.


    Annalise was a little puzzled.


    Then, she felt Julian pulling her away.


    Annalise thought, “What’s going on?”


    Immediately after, she felt Julian put her leg on his leg and put her hand on his waist.


    Annalise was shocked.


    So, the reason why she woke up every morning hugging him was not that she moved around a lot in


    her sleep, but because he made it seem so.


    This man was really… childish!


    She suddenly wanted to know what his expression was like now.


    Hence, she secretly opened her eyes a little…
